| 16-06-2023 | after a very strange night, i suddenly became cognizant that my place would be cleared out and my locks would be changed by my new landlords the next time i left the house for any reason, and have been forced to lock myself inside since. i will not be able to go anywhere at all until the court defines an eviction process, the rad fems buy me out or the rad fems sell the house. | ||||

| 12-05-2023 | vaccine requirements for travel to the united states finally lifted by the dhs, allowing me to cross over to detroit to see shows. however, the 2023 show schedule remained very slow in detroit. the tenancy issue made going to shows impossible after mid june, but i don't think i missed much. | ||||
| 01-04-2023 | my apartment building was bought by aggressive rad fem lesbians with the intent to detransition me, evict me and steal all of my stuff, forcing me to stay inside until the issue can be dealt with by the proper regulatory bodies, which sets in from mid june onwards. | ||||
| 24-03-2023 | i shaved my head, which has been a source of embarassment to me, but was necessary because the split ends were unsalvageable. | ||||
| 22-03-2022 | masks are no longer required at venues, meaning i might consider going out again. however, the border remained closed and the show schedule in windsor was very slow. even toronto looked boring. | ||||

| 01-07-2018 | i had to save up money over the summer of 2018 because i had to move in the fall, and did move on oct 1, 2018. further, june and october were both cold that year. i know i missed a few things, including ganggangdance but i can't live in a fantasy reality all of the time, there have periodically been annoying people forcing me back into reality, kicking and screaming. i had to skip the summer to save the cash, and it was then a slow start of the year in 2019, although it then came on strong. it sucks, but it's real. | ||||

| 13-01-2000 | turned 19 and can enter venues, but was experiencing deep introversion and mostly stayed in. ottawa did have a punk scene at the time but i was not interested in then contemporary punk rock forms (garage/corporate emo/mathcore/nu-metal/indie); i was mostly listening to abstact jazz and creative techno and ottawa did not have a developed idm, post-rock, psychedelic or art music scene to engage in until after 2006, when i was beginning to move on. i wanted to go to montreal but never made it there. from 2000-2010, i was aware of frequent shows in ottawa by bands like fucked up, high on fire, alexisonfire, arcade fire, dfa 1979, dillinger escape plan, silverstein, rise against, protest the hero, saves the day, avenged sevenfold, agnostic front, pixies, bane, atreyu, thursday, aids wolf, wolf parade, anti-flag, explosions in the sky, afi, cancer bats and many others and actively decided not to go either because the price was too high (which was sometimes legitimately true.) or because i was not only not interested in the bands but because i actively disliked them. i at one point feigned having never heard of them and then pretended that i left my id at home to get out of paying for and then suffering through a black mountain (yawn.) set. the only band in that list that i developed a taste for over time was fucked up, although i also have a soft spot for the surprisingly mature final thursday record (while not liking their previous records at all). there were other shows by bands like ministry, kmfdm, bad religion and the red hot chili peppers that i just decided weren't worth the price at that stage in their careers. regarding the 80s rock of the period, fuck retro anything and fuck retro everything; it was such a huge problem in the early 00s. on the other hand, i thought screamo/emo/mathcore all sounded the same, and all sounded dumb, and i actually still hold to that view. i find the angry screaming to be impossible to engage with. after around 2008, a new and more artistic style of post-hardcore developed that toned down the hyper-masculine small penis over-compensation (i believe this horrid small penis tendency in the hardcore of the early 00s is the fault of the terrible swedish band refused) and fused screamo with post-rock, and i found that far more interesting and started checking out more and more of it after about 2010. the point i'm trying to make is that it's less that i wasn't engaged with what was happening around me (i was constantly checking show listings) and more that i legitimately wasn't at all interested in the music that was being played in underground venues in ottawa at the time, as i found so much of it to be generic, or angry, or boring or dumb. in fact, i was actually distraught by this, as i wanted to get out to more shows and was actively searching for things and constantly disappointed by what i found, but i am not the only observer to point out that 1997-2007, the dubya bush years, is really an absolute bottoming out and total low point in modern art and in western culture more generally. i happen to have lived through it at the apex of my youth, unfortunately. my tastes were geared heavily towards post-rock and heavily away from screamo and metalcore and this is apparent in my show list, but that would open up as screamo slowly became more artsy and less macho over the course of the 00s and into the 10s. i wish i was at the man man show in 2006 and the genghis tron show in 2008, though; i legitimately missed those ones, as i didn't find the relevant records until they'd just come and gone. i was very pissed off about just missing the genghis tron show, as it was the best industrial record i'd heard in years. | ||||
